Subject: [PATCH v2] coredump: Use 64bit time for unix time of coredump

struct timeval on 32-bit systems will have its tv_sec
value overflow in year 2038 and beyond.
Use a 64 bit value to print time of the coredump in seconds.
ktime_get_real_seconds is chosen here for efficiency reasons.

Suggested by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
Signed-off-by: Tina Ruchandani <ruchandani.tina@...il.com>

Changes in v2:
	- use ktime_get_real_seconds instead of getnstimeofday64
	- fix printf format string:should work on 32-bit systems too.
